Tech and business are the two smallest categories we track. As of early November 2026, about 230 people sit in tech and about 130 in business, out of roughly 57,600 in total. The names at the top still draw thousands of readers every day, and a few stand far apart from the rest.
This post looks at the leading founders, executives and investors in our tech and business categories, ranked by steady daily reading of their English Wikipedia article.
Steady interest versus trending
We rank by baseline, the median of a person's daily views across a recent window of readings that ends at least a week before the latest day. A median ignores the odd busy day, so it reflects everyday interest. The underlying counts are Wikipedia's public pageview statistics, limited to human readers.
Our trending score is a different measure: attention above a person's own normal. It is made mostly of a spike, the latest day's views beyond 1.5 times the baseline, plus a Google Trends boost and a small resting share worth 1% of the baseline. For who is spiking right now, see the trending ranking.
One note on scope. Our categories are assigned automatically, and a few entries in these two lists are not tech or business leaders at all, including a fictional character. We have left those out. Historical inventors and thinkers that the categories include are covered separately at the end.
One prominent name is missing for a different reason. Elon Musk is in our business category, but our records had no recent Wikipedia readings for him when we compiled this list. Wikipedia's own figures put him at about 23,000 views on a typical day, which would place him third, behind Evans and Bezos.
Tech leaders
Evans is an American businessman who founded and runs Haemanthus, a diagnostics start-up based in Austin, Texas, and the partner of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes. He is an outlier: his Wikipedia article is only a few weeks old, so his baseline of about 56,900 views a day reflects a short burst of unusual interest rather than years of steady reading. His latest reading was lower, at about 23,900.
The American entrepreneur and investor, born in 1985, typically draws about 11,300 views a day. His latest day was a little higher, at about 13,500.
The American internet entrepreneur, born in 1984, has a baseline of about 8,200 views a day. His latest reading was about 4,900.
Huang is an American entrepreneur and businessman, and the co-founder and CEO of Nvidia. He typically draws about 6,900 views a day, with a latest reading of about 6,000.
The American internet entrepreneur and businessman, born in 1944, draws about 6,500 views on a typical day. His latest day was about 3,900.
Saverin is a Brazilian entrepreneur and investor and a co-founder of Facebook. His baseline is about 5,200 views a day, and his latest reading was about 2,600.
Luckey is an American entrepreneur and co-founder of the defense technology company Anduril Industries. He previously founded Oculus VR and designed the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. He typically draws about 4,900 views a day; his latest day was about 2,600.
The American businessman and CEO, born in 1965, has a baseline of about 4,500 views a day and a latest reading of about 2,100.
Business leaders
The American business magnate, born in 1964, leads the business category by a wide margin, with about 42,100 views a day. His latest day was about 52,800, roughly a quarter above his normal.
The American businessman and publisher, born in 1931, typically draws about 7,900 views a day. His latest reading was about 4,900.
The Hungarian-American investor and philanthropist, born in 1930, has a baseline of about 5,300 views a day. His latest day was about 6,200.
The American businessman, investor and philanthropist, born in 1955, typically draws about 4,700 views a day, with a latest reading of about 4,300.
The American investor, entrepreneur and businessman, born in 1930, draws about 4,500 views on a typical day. His latest day, about 4,900, was close to normal.
The American businesswoman, socialite and political adviser, born in 1981, has a baseline of about 4,200 views a day. Her latest reading was about 6,200, close to one and a half times that.
The American businessman and reality television personality, born in 1977, also draws about 4,200 views a day. His latest day was about 5,000.
The American businesswoman, writer and television personality, born in 1941, typically draws about 4,200 views a day. Her latest reading was about 5,400.
Historical names in these categories
Both categories also include figures from earlier centuries, among them inventors, scientists and thinkers. Their typical daily views:
- Nikola Tesla, the Serbian-American engineer and inventor (1856–1943): about 6,800 views a day.
- Alan Turing, the English computer scientist (1912–1954): about 6,600 views a day.
- Karl Marx, the German philosopher and socialist (1818–1883): about 6,000 views a day.
- Leonardo da Vinci, the Italian polymath (1452–1519): about 5,700 views a day.
- Howard Hughes, the American aviator, aerospace engineer and business magnate (1905–1976): about 4,100 views a day.
Their latest readings were at or somewhat below these levels, with no spikes.
What stands out
- Two names far ahead. Evans and Bezos both draw more than 40,000 views a day, though Evans's figure rests on only a few weeks of data. Leaving aside Musk, who is missing from our records, everyone else in either category is below about 11,500.
- A tight middle band. Most leaders here sit between about 4,000 and 8,000 daily views. That is well below the top of our sports and entertainment categories, where the leading names draw roughly 17,000 to 34,000 a day.
- Quieter latest days in tech. For seven of the eight tech leaders above, the latest reading was below the baseline, several by about half. A median can sit above an ordinary day, so we don't read anything into this.
- No current spikes. None of the leaders above crossed 1.5 times their baseline on the latest day, so their places reflect steady interest rather than a moment in the news.
Reading the numbers
Page views measure how many people looked someone up. They are not a measure of company size, wealth or success. Figures are rounded to the nearest hundred, come from English Wikipedia only, and reflect readings as of early November 2026.
